The Army-Navy game is one of the oldest and most traditional rivalries in all of college football. The Black Knights and Midshipmen first met on The Plain at West Point on November 29th, 1890. Both schools, rich in tradition and heritage, faced off and began a 120 year bout; each slugging it out every year earning the winning contender bragging rights for the following year. The Navy Midshipmen currently remain the leader in the series with 55 wins, 49 losses and 7 ties. I'm obviously an Army guy, but anytime two great teams such as these meet on a gridiron, steeped in historic precedence, the outcome matters not. The important aspect to remember here is that these men are future leaders of our military that come together once a year to battle one another and keep military tradition alive. A good portion of these traditions are being lost or overlooked, and this is one that will [hopefully] carry on for years to come. God bless the men playing for their respective services on Saturday, and keep them safe so that they may lead others onto the field of battle and wield the sword of victory over the enemies of our nation.
The Army Black Knights (3-7) and the Navy Midshipmen (4-8) will meet for the 112th time this Saturday, December 10th at 2:30 p.m. EST on CBS. This year's meeting, sponsored by USAA, will be held at FedEx field in Washington D.C.
